There's a storm in my teacup!

Well, in my dollar store mug.

We have a stand of some large-breasted 'femme fatale' from the WWE showing off their new wrestling game. Her grin is one of pure cheese. I'd had enough. We had HalfLife 2 point of sale things arrive yesterday. Gordon Freeman's face adorns several posters and boxes around the shop. I decided I had to go one better on this, and with the skill Asti showed in cutting accurately, we ended up with this:

A slightly unusual situation happened at work between a very lippy guy and Asti. He was trying to harass me for a little more money for what he wanted to sell me, being lippy and demanding when he was in no position to do so - almost as if he was trying to induce fear to give him more money. I was enjoying being steadfast and seeing him getting more and more agitated. Asti, hearing this guy's lack of respect and getting disgusted by the second by his presence, told him to stop being so rude (and I'm surprised her tongue wasn't sharper) which caused him to spew mild abuse at her, stating he could "box her up" or cause some form of origami-based pain unto her. Asti simply stood up to him and at that point he took the money and ran, muttering comments from the back of the shop, where the yellow streak down his back wasn't visible.

Personally, I just want rid of people like that when they come in. I don't pander to them but I try to get rid of them as soon as I can, one way or the other. Still, with the entertaining comments Asti made he won't come back and we won't miss him.

Hah, Truds is gonna go mad when she sees that bottom pic! Honestly though, I think that 'lady' looks much better now; a definite improvement. I bet guys who wander into the shop won't stare at it for such a long time now. ;) Oh, and you look simply wonderful in that image Dean, *quaffs wine*

Uuurrr, that guy. How rude is that though, to threaten to beat up a lady? (well, 'lady' ;) How tough of him. I just got the impression he was one of the sort of guys with a chip on his shoulder, who wasn't used to anyone talking back to him like that. People like him need taking down a peg or two. ;)
